WTW80: Elon Musk's DOGE is Desperate for Approval

WTW79: Being Woke Is Good, Actually

Representative Jasmine Crockett made an offensive joke about Governor Abbott's disability. The right pretended to care all of a sudden, and it seems that much of the left has decided they don't care. What should we, the woke police, think about this? How should we react? What should we expect from Democrats and each other? **If you enjoy our work, please consider leaving a 5-star review!

WTW78: You'll Never Guess What Megyn Kelly Talked About At CPAC...

For like... 20 minutes... Megyn Kelly told an upside down world version of the Lively/Baldoni feud. There's a reason conservatives are very interested in this story, and I'll give you a hint it rhymes with pisogyny. If you enjoy our work, please consider leaving a 5-star review!

WTW73: Elon Musk Claimed to Be a Top PoE2 Gamer. Turns Out He Was Cheating

This is the best. It's just the best. Elon Musk is so pathetic that he tried to fake being a world class gamer, only to completely humiliate himself when he live-streamed himself gaming.

A DOUBLE episode on Elon's catastrophic and very public failure, and with special guest Noah Lugeons! Please pretty please consider becoming a patron at patreon.com/wherethereswoke!
